Transdermal Therapeutic Systems (TTS)

What is TTS?

Click to Zoom

Transdermal Therapeutic Systems (TTS), or transdermal patches, deliver drugs to the body via skin absorption. TTS is a highly useful form of drug administration with many advantages. One advantage is immediate visual confirmation of administration when the patch is applied to the skin. Additionally, the formulas are designed to control the rate of drug absorption which helps to sustain drug-blood concentration over an extended period.

Nitto’s High Throughput Screening

We can evaluate the skin permeability of a large number of samples at once using our High Throughput Screening – an original method that uses only a small amount of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API).

Adhesives Used in TTS

TTS requires the right adhesive technology to achieve its target properties, so Nitto uses its original acrylic adhesive technology to design the optimal formula.
